wtf did i get scammed?

It gets worse, I had a roll developed and the lab stole the silver

this sucks ass, don't use the apple store to support your favorite creators, subscribe or resubscribe directly through your browser

this also affects supporters because patreon will be dynamically raising prices on ios to offset fees. so it will literally be more expensive. no one wins.

expect all other processors with ios apps to be affected if they haven't been yet.

link to full news post if anyone wants it:

buried in there is that Patreon will also force every creator to their Subscription billing (you're charged on the date you sign up) instead of the old system (you're charged on the first of every month) by November 2025 because it is in conflict with how the iOS app operates wrt these policies and i'm very annoyed! i don't want the new system, the old system works for me because of how i run my shit.

deeply annoyed that these sites constantly shift this aggressively and i just can't do shit about it. at least this is apple's fault primarily this time but fuck, man. i'm so tired.

anyway patreon should add a feature that lets ios users see a pop up that says THERES NO 30% FEE ON DESKTOP if they try to sub through the app forgot you can't do this

my actual wish is for patreon to just turn the iOS app into browse-only. just wholesale remove the ability to subscribe through there. if there are iOS app users, they know what patreon is, they know how the service operates, and they are likely smart enough to open a browser afterwards and sign up there. and if not, well, i'd rather eat that loss than let apple take 30% in either option.

but i also know patreon will not do this because they are not a Big Service. no matter the option i pick, patreon takes a cut from subscriptions through iOS and they're not going to just remove a vector of income to do some overall good for creators and its users. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I've seen some discussion about Cohost's intention to create a 'missing stair' rule, and wanted to talk about how and why that is actually a good idea, although one where an enormous amount will come down to how it's implemented.
